A uniform commercial code (UCC) filing is a notice registered by a lender when a loan is taken out against a single asset or a group of assets. A UCC filing creates a lien against the collateral a borrower pledges for a business loan. The uniform commercial code is a set of rules governing commercial transactions.

A UCC3 is a change statement to a UCC1. It's an amendment filing to an original UCC1 financing statement that changes or adds information to the originally filed UCC1. It's a filing tool secured parties use to manage their UCC portfolio to maintain their perfected security interests.

A UCC-3 termination statement (a “Termination”) is a required filing that terminates a security interest that has been perfected by a UCC-1 filing. A Termination for personal property is accomplished by completing and filing form UCC-3 with the Secretary of State's office in the appropriate state.

To do so you will generally need to make a trip in person down to your secretary of state's office. Once there, you will be able to swear under oath that you've satisfied the debt in full and wish to request for the UCC-1 filing to be removed.

How do I get rid of a UCC filing? You can remove a UCC filing when you've repaid your business loan in full. Once you repay the debt, the lender should remove the lien from your business assets. If not, you may request that the lender files a UCC-3 to terminate the lien.

The Uniform Commercial Code allows a creditor, typically a financial institution or lender, to notify other creditors about a debtor's assets used as collateral for a secured transaction by filing a public notice (financing statement) with a particular filing office.

A UCC-5 is a statement that an error occurred: records an inaccuracy, or wrongfully filed document, or filed by person not entitled to do so. It is not and does not amend any information, so still have to file a UCC3 if need to amend.

In fact, it is sometimes called a UCC financing statement. A creditor files a UCC-1 to provide notice to interested parties that he or she has a security interest in a debtor's personal property. This personal property is being used as collateral in some type of secured transaction, usually a loan or a lease.

The secured party has 20 days to either terminate the filing or send a termination statement to the debtor that the debtor can then file. If this does not happen within the 20-day time frame, the debtor may file a UCC-3 termination statement.

What information is required for a UCC-3 filing? Form UCC3 is used to amend (make changes to) a UCC1 filing. The required information is: An acknowledgement name and address.
